41. Why should we take...
...pittence, while the heterosexual community has all the rights, and we are treated as second class citizens.

I am not saying the dems haven't done anything for the LGBT community, but they haven't stood by 100% either. They have been taking our votes and as a result, giving us pittence, it is kinda like hush money.

But not many people will see it that way, because those people aren't being discriminated against. It is us who is being discriminated against, and we are sick and tired of it.

The heart knowns no bounderies when we fall in love. The heart doesn't discriminate between sexes, it only tells us this person is good for us.

Damn it when are people going to understand? I am in love with a woman. When this woman looks at me, I know it is me she wants, desires, and loves. I am the person she has chosen to spend the rest of her life with, for fuck sake, I would like to know that when we get married it will be marriage and not some committment ceremony followed by a trip to the registery office in order to register our relationship, so we can get a few of the state rights we are entitled to.


And as a minority, you should understand what I am saying. You shouldn't be willing to settle for pittence, when you are a citizen of this world created by God in his image.
